Edgar Martinez was 27 when he entered his first full season. He got almost 60 % of the vote last year and has been climbing every year he's been eligible.
David Ortiz was 27 too before his first season on the Red Sox. A lot of people see him as a HOFer.
Ichiro was 27.
I don't think age really is an indicator.

Boggs was 24. The brilliant Red Sox management kept him in the minors for years lol.
